A new lineage of trypanosomes from Australian vertebrates and terrestrial bloodsucking leeches (Haemadipsidae)

International Journal for Parasitology, 2005
Little is known about the trypanosomes of indigenous Australian vertebrates and their vectors. We surveyed a range of vertebrates and blood-feeding invertebrates for trypanosomes by parasitological and PCR-based methods using primers specific to the small subunit ribosomal RNA (SSU rRNA) gene of genus Trypanosoma.

Blood Sucking Asian Leeches of Families Hirudidae and Haemadipsidae

Journal of Parasitology, 1969
Abstract : The report is a general, but far from complete account of the Asian blood-sucking aquatic leeches of family Hirudidae and the land leeches of family Haemadipsidae. While other blood-sucking leeches occur in Asia, the majority of the species known as pests of man and domestic animals are land leeches of genus Haemadipsa, and aquatic leeches ...

First Record of a Cavernous Land Leech Sinospelaeobdella cavatuses (Hirudinda: Haemadipsidae) from Thailand

Tropical Natural History, 2023
Sixteen specimens of cavernous land leeches collected from a cave in Chiang Mai Province, northern Thailand, were examined by integrating morphological and molecular analyses. A phylogenetic tree based on COI sequences nested these specimens within the clade of the cavernous land leech Sinospelaeobdella cavatuses (Yang, Mo & Wang, 2009 ...

Two New Species of Land Leeches from Thailand (Hirudiniformes: Haemadipsidae)

Tropical Natural History, 2007
Two new species of haemadipsid land leeches from Thailand are described. The first, named Haemadipsa trimaculosa Ngamprasertwong, n. sp., is a ground leech and is distributed in Northeastern and Southern Thailand at low altitude (100-900 m). The second species, named H. crenata Ngamprasertwong, n. sp., is a bush leech and is distributed in Northern and

Vampire in the darkness: a new genus and species of land leech exclusively bloodsucking cave-dwelling bats from China (Hirudinda: Arhynchobdellida: Haemadipsidae)

Zootaxa, 2019
Land leeches in the family Haemadipsidae are mostly from the humid tropical rainforest habitats and habitually take blood from the body of human and other animals. In the present study, we report a new species, Sinospelaeobdella wulingensis sp.

Description of a soft‐bodied invertebrate with microcomputed tomography and revision of the genusChtonobdella(Hirudinea: Haemadipsidae)

Zoologica Scripta, 2016
Two‐jawed (duognathous) terrestrial leeches in the Haemadipsidae are major pests across their wide geographic range, represented by numerous endemic species in Australia and across many islands in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. However, haemadipsid taxonomy, based largely on externally visible characters, remains in conflict with phylogenetic ...

Pyrosequencing the salivary transcriptome of Haemadipsa interrupta (Annelida: Clitellata: Haemadipsidae): anticoagulant diversity and insight into the evolution of anticoagulation capabilities in leeches

Invertebrate Biology, 2013
AbstractFreshwater, marine, and terrestrial leeches that depend on a diet of fresh blood have evolved salivary peptide components that inhibit normal thrombus formation by prey. Although bloodfeeding in leeches has long been of interest to biologists and medical practitioners alike, only a few studies have comprehensively examined the anticoagulant ...

A New Host Record forTritetrabdella taiwana(Hirudinida: Arhynchobdellida: Haemadipsidae) from the Asian Painted FrogKaloula pulchra(Anura: Microhylidae) in Hong Kong, China, with a Taxonomic Note onT. taiwana

Comparative Parasitology, 2014
ABSTRACT: Two individuals of Tritetrabdella taiwana that attached to a microhylid Asian painted frog, Kaloula pulchra, were collected in Hong Kong, China. This finding represents a new microhylid host record for T. taiwana. Additionally, molecular phylogenetic analyses were conducted based on COI sequence data.
